Ambassadors
If you are passionate about the arts and would like to connect deeply with UMS, Ambassadors may be a great match for you.
Over 35 members of the UMS Ambassadors work to increase awareness of and participation in UMS programs through assisting UMS staff with projects and special events, ushering at UMS school-day performances, hosting unique community events, helping to creating partnerships with various U-M and community groups, and providing support to UMS in countless other ways.
